As a parent, how do you meet your child’s needs at each level of Maslow’s Hierarchy?

12 comments:

  1. As a parent you should give you child a safe environment to live in. Also you should give them food and other health needs like medicine and whatnot. They should also be given love and acceptance. You as a parent should support your children's decisions to help their self esteem. Like what they wish to wear and such. All of these will help your child to get to the final step of self actualization.

  2. Physiological: I would keep my child hydrated. I will give them warmth by providing clothing. As a parent I will feed my kids good meals.
    Safety: I will provide shelter(a home). I will protect my kids by keeping harm away. Also, I will give them a stable home.
    Social: I will keep my kids close to their family and it will be loving. I will show my kids affection. I will help my kids build relationships with new people.
    Esteem: I will encourage my kids to excel in things they are good at. I will never put my kids down. I will build my child's self-esteem by turning negatives into positives.
    Self- Actualization: I will keep my kids in a nonviolent home so they are happy. I will keep everything around my child positive so they are at peace. I will allow my child to be involved in many things they want to (good things) so they are fulfilled with their lives.

  3. Give them food get them close to keep them warm. I could get them a bed to sleep in. I could give them a nice bed to sleep in. I could get a house us to live in so they are not just sleeping in a box out on the street. I could get a dog to protected the house from any people braking in or to just watch the family so they don't have to be scared. I could show them love by holding them getting them stuff and kissing them on the forehead. I could let them see the family more so they don't grow up and wonder who all of these people are. I can focus on them more and take care of them so they know that i am there for them.

  4. As a parent your job is to make sure that your kids have what they need to survive. As a parent you pay for the electricity that makes the house warm or cold. You also pay for the house that they live in an probably go to the store once a week if not more. You have to provide your kids shelter by having a stable home to live in an not moving around all the time. It is your job as a parent to make sure that they are not getting hurt when they are not with you. You could also make sure that you aren't getting divorced and that if you do you don't date a lot of people. As a parent it is your job to make sure that your child feels loved at all time. When you are parenting your kids you should always tell them how much you love them and make sure that they know that they always have a safe place to come home to. Being a parent is a big role especially when you are trying to teach your kids how confident they should be with themselves, telling them that they should be proud of themselves no matter what other people think. Your child's representation is some what based off of what the parents act like, so being a parent you should always have a good representation yourself. When your child is finally old enough to be content with where their life is you should always tell them good job with how far they have come. If your child is struggling to be confident with themselves you should try and help them understand that not everyone is going to like you at all times.

  5. As a parent I would make sure my kid never needs or wants. That my child couldn't go around saying they don't have something essential that they need or that they never get what they want. My child would be set for life. I will provide respect and love to my kid so that they never feel left out or they don't have to go through a major bullying stage. I will also want my kid to be able to explore and be themselves. As a parent I will give my kid love, affection, and care. I'll talk to my child, communicate with them so that they understand I'm their friend and I'll always be there for them, but I will also be a parent. As a parent I will definitely protect my kid and make sure I tell them about real life; the outside world and its dangers. I will do my best to protect them from all harm and lead them in the correct paths. When I become a parent I will make sure my bills are paid so that there's warm air in the air and ac for hot days. I'll eat out sometimes, but I'll also cook home made meals to provide great nutrients to their bodies so that they become very strong and useful when they get older. I will also bathe my kid every day so that they smell very nice and I'll dress them up in really cute clothing like baby dolls so that they feel good all around.

  6. 1. Make sure they are eating the right thing, or even eatin at all.
    2. Not moving around from house to house and being at a steady home. Also make sure the parents have a healthy realationship.
    3. Love them hug them tell the kids that you miss them when they come back from friends places or grandparents houses.
    4. Let me go out and have friends not too much but enough to have a life and know what is "cool' and 'not cool'
    5. Hanging out with you having fun with the family.

  7. For the first stage of the pyramid, I would be the worker of the family, getting the money my family needs to get a house and to buy food and drink. I would also provide the things my children would need (clothes, bed, ect.). The first stage would be the one where I as a parent would need to excel in. For the safety needs of my children (that feels weird to write), as I said before, I will have a house that will shelter my children. I will also have a set of rules in the house at times as well, so that my children can still be children, but can also be alive and responsible. One last thing I would do is to set chores for my children, so that the responsibilities of the house can be divided. For the third stage of the pyramid, I will love my children until the day I die. I will help them learn on how to be social (though I may need some help myself), so that they can be accepted by others. Love is a difficult subject, but it is everywhere, and I need to teach my children to help put love everywhere. As for the fourth stage of the pyramid, I will try to help my children be the best that they can be. I will provide them the tools that they will need in order to flourish in what they are good at. The rest of that stage will have to be up to them. For the fifth stage, I will try to provide the best family that my children could ever have. Where they are in their life will be up to them, but as a parent, I will make sure that they live a good childhood, and I will be supportive and understanding to what my children want as they grow. Again, the rest will be up to them.

  8. Physiological Needs: I feel like the main way I would be able to provide my child with their physiological needs is by providing them with shelter. That would by my biggest concern. A few other ways I would provide them with those needs is by making sure they always had food and drinks, and I would provide my children with the appropriate clothing for the weather.
    Safety Needs: My child(ren) would be provided with their safety needs by always having a stable home to sleep in, and stable parents. I would protect them by making sure they are never in a bad or dangerous situation, and by knowing where they are at no matter what. Their shelter would be home.
    Social Needs: I would provide my children with their social needs by loving them unconditionally no matter what. They would always have a close family and they would be assured that we are here for each other no matter what happens. Another way they would be provided with their social needs is by being very affectionate. Never letting my kids leave the house without telling them I love them or giving them a hug.
    Esteem needs: My children would be provided with their esteem needs by me as a parent always telling them they're doing good when they deserve it, telling them they look beautiful (if she is a girl), and making sure they know that I am supporting them in everything they do. There would be a reputation of love in our home so they know that even if they are having a bad day the can come home to a house full of people that love each other.
    Self Actualization: My kids will live in a home and grow up knowing that they can be whatever they want to be and do the activities they want to try to be themselves. They will live in a home that is full of nothing but love and I will try to make it so they are never in a dangerous situation. Even if the situation is dangerous, I will try my best to make them feel safe. I will also never judge my kids for being who they are or doing what they want to do. I want them to be comfortable and open to being who they really are.

  11. I would meet the physiological needs by making sure the child gets plenty of sleep each night. I would also make sure that they eat enough food but not to much to stay healthy. Finally I would make sure they drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
    To meet a child's safety needs I would provide a good enough shelter to keep them safe. Second I would make sure that they are in a safe community. Finally I would make sure to keep my kids protected from predators.
    I would meet a child's social needs by showing acceptance and appreciation. I would also make sure I have a good, trustful relationship with the child. Finally I would make sure that I remind the child that I love him/her.
    Esteem needs would be met make sure my child has a good self esteem by accepting them as who they are. I would also compliment them on their achievements. Postitivity would help a kid gain confidence.
    I would meet a child's self actualization needs by allowing my child to express them selves. I will also push them to try new things. I will let them be free and take their own road in life.

  12. As a parent, you have to supply your child with their physiological needs. You have to make sure they get air, and food. You have to make sure they get plenty enough of water, or if you don't they could possibly die.

    A kid needs a place to live, you need to put a roof over their head. You also have to protect your kid from possible dangers, and make sure they're safe. Providing them with a home will protect them from dangers.

    Giving a kid love and affection can help build their self-esteem, so it is necessary to show that you love your kids. Giving your kid a hug every night before they go to bed can help them know they're safe.

    To make sure your kid has high self-esteem, it is important to appreciate them, and what they do. And to recognize their achievements to give them support for what they do.

    It is good to allow your kids to express themselves, and encourage them in what they're doing. They need the support so they don't have lower self-esteem
